My goodness do I love the weekend. I’ve got lots to share, so let’s dive in.
My friends and I had THE BEST sandwiches for lunch yesterday at Taylor Gourmet. The sandwich bread comes from Philadelphia and the meats and cheeses from Italy. So we knew it was going to be good :). What we didn’t know is how far away it was from our office! Half an hour walk in 90-something degrees = gross.
Oh, but kinda worth it :).
That’s the Columbus Boulevard – Proscuitto, roasted red peppers and mozzarella. Oh YUM. The bread was super fresh and chewy and the insides were just heavenly! Totally made up for our long hike there.
After work, I met my roommate Allison and her friend Eddie to go up inside the Washington Monument. The evening turned into quite the sightseeing expedition which was actually lovely given that the weather cooled down quite a bit. By the time we got to the WWII Memorial the sky looked gorgeous!
Oh DC, I love you.
After all our sites we headed back into our neighborhood for supper. I promised Allison that the meal was totally blog-worthy so please enjoy these beautiful pics :).
And I must say it was rather delicious!! My one gripe about where we live is that it seems to lack places that are both yummy and casual. If you want a fancy meal – no problem – but not so much if you are feeling less formal. So yay for Froggy Bottom :).
You may have noticed I didn’t cook much this week. And I’m sorry! It was crazy busy. But I’m expecting much more calmness from now on and I will be happy to get back to my kitchen.
In fact, that’s just where I was this morning, making these.
Buckwheat pancakes with dried cranberries, chocolate chips, maple syrup and peanut butter. Sleeping in then eating pancakes is pretty much the dreamiest way to spend a Saturday morning.
But then I went to my Body Combat class and almost died of heat exhaustion. Holy hotness in there. By the end even my shins were sweating. Who even knew shins could sweat? It was quite the picture.
So now we’re all caught up. Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend :). See you tomorrow!

I’m going to be there in about a month and a half on vacation (it’s my first time there)!
Froggy Bottom looks kind of like a great place to take the ‘rents- good casual night out….
Oh fun!! There are so many awesome options…I’d be happy to recommend!
yum, yum, and yum! seriously, everything looks SO good!
What a fun weekend! I love DC 🙂
Lots of great looking food. But that sandwich is to die for!
That sandwich looks SO good! And I love canadian bacon and pineapple pizza! It’s the best!
Yes! Nothing like a good weekend with friends and incredible looking food. I swear if I see one more pic of pancakes I will freak out and make them in the middle of the night. I must have them. Tomorrow is the day!
great eats around our beautiful city! it ended up being a pretty nice weekend (even though it’s still ridiculously hot!)
I need to go to DC! Maybe one day I’ll transfer with work! I’m pretty sure I’d love it!
Love the sunset picture Beth! Glad you had such a great weekend!
Wow! Those eats look AMAZING! I’m loving your pizza choice!
I LOVE DC too, that’s why I’m moving to DC next week! 🙂
Oh how fun…congrats!! I think you’ll love living here :).
